Out of 665 voters, 348 of them were pessimistic about re-election for Corbett and think that voters will see the lawsuit as a political move. 92 voters thought it would affect his re-election positively, regardless of whether is lawsuit is seen as political or not.

More than a quarter million of Pennsylvania’s residents are Penn State alumni and their backing of the lawsuit appears to be rooted in the issue itself and does not imply confidence in Corbett, whose handling of the Sandusky case in 2009 was widely criticized.
